Common problems and quick fixes
Connectivity drops
It’s frustrating when your wireless soundbar disconnects unexpectedly, especially during an intense scene in your favourite show. Connectivity drops can happen for several reasons, but don’t fret! First, ensure the soundbar is within range of the connected device. Wireless soundbars rely on a stable signal, so make sure the distance between your soundbar and the device isn’t too far. Next, check for obstacles blocking the wireless signal, as objects like walls, large furniture, or other electronic devices can interfere with the signal. If these steps don’t help, the solution may be as simple as restarting both your soundbar and the source device (TV, smartphone, or laptop).
Audio lag
If you're watching a movie or playing a game and notice that the sound doesn’t quite match up with the action on-screen, it’s likely due to audio lag. This happens when the Bluetooth connection introduces a slight delay between the video and the sound. The cause of audio lag is often Bluetooth signals, which can sometimes cause a delay, especially if there’s a high level of data being transferred. To fix this, try adjusting the audio sync settings in your TV or source device. Many modern devices offer an audio delay setting that can help sync the sound properly with the video. Additionally, you can try switching to a different Bluetooth channel or pairing method if available.
No sound output
If your wireless Bluetooth soundbar is powered on but you're hearing nothing, the problem might be with the sound settings on your device or the connection itself. Start by confirming the volume levels on both the Bluetooth soundbar and the source device. Sometimes the volume may be turned down or muted. Then, check the playback device settings to ensure that the audio output is set to the correct source device, such as your TV or smartphone. If the issue persists, the solution may be to re-pair the soundbar with the source device. This can help reset the connection and fix any audio output issues. If this doesn’t help, you should take it to the manufacturer for repairs.
Audio issues
Crackling or distorted audio can indicate interference or a poor connection between your soundbar and the source device. This often happens when the signal between the devices is weak or when other wireless devices in the area interfere with the connection. Devices like Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones, or microwaves can disrupt the signal, leading to poor sound quality. To fix this issue, move the soundbar and the source device closer, as reducing the distance can strengthen the signal. Also, turning off or relocating nearby devices that operate on the same frequency as your wireless soundbar, such as Bluetooth-enabled gadgets or Wi-Fi routers, can help minimise interference.

FAQs
To reset your wireless soundbar, look for the reset button on the back or refer to the user manual. Typically, pressing and holding the reset button for 10 seconds will restore it to factory settings.
Unwired soundbars are powered through a direct connection to an electrical outlet using a power cord. While they don’t require audio cables for connectivity, they are not completely "cord-free" since they rely on a wired power source to function. Some portable soundbars, designed for use with laptops or outdoor settings, might include built-in rechargeable batteries, but these are less common.
Most of these soundbars do not use batteries and instead rely on an electrical outlet for power. However, there are a few portable soundbars with built-in rechargeable batteries, designed for on-the-go use. These are typically smaller and less powerful than standard home-theater soundbars. For most home entertainment setups, battery-operated soundbars are not the norm.
